INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL:
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE HEATER BE SUPPLIED WITH ADEQUATE
POWER TO OPERATE PROPERLY
•
DEDICATED CIRCUIT – It is recommended that a dedicated circuit be provided to
the heater with 115V supply and 15amp breaker
•
HEAVY DUTY EXTENSION CORD – Due to the powder draw over distance, the
following extension cords must be used:
12/3 AWG at 50 Feet
10/3 AWG at 100 Feet
Using an undersized power supply cord will increase the amperage draw from the
motor and potentially cause the heater to fail. This sort of failure can damage the
ignition controls beyond repair and create an costly repair.
•
MOTOR – The motor and burner on the FVO-400 draw a total of 10.5 amps. This
allows some forgiveness in the field when jobsite power conditions are strained
•
POWER INDICATOR – The heater is equipped with a power indicator light which
helps detect various power supply issues such as: grounding issues, reverse
polarity or missing connections.
POWER SUPPLY INDICATOR LIGHT (Not Applicable on HC Units)
The power supply indicator light will help you
detect any faulty power supplied to the heater
including grounding issues, reverse polarity or
missing connections

MAINTENANCE
All fuel hoses should be visually inspected
prior to firing up the heater. Check for wear or
abrasion, cuts and or possible leaks at the
fittings
The fuel filter should be drained daily. Look for
excessive dirt build up and/or water/ice.
The fuel filter insert should be changed weekly.
Fan limit switch should be replaced if the fan
motor does not shut off once the heat
exchanger has cooled down
High Limit switches should be checked each
season. These limit switches will ensure the
burner shuts down if the temperature exceeds
150deg F at the rear of the unit and 250deg F
at the outlet of the heater
Check the FAN BLADE to be sure the blade
is moving freely to ensure the heater is
drawing the correct combustion air.
The HEAT EXCHANGER should be drained
on a regular basis. There is a fuel drain
located at the exterior of the heater.
Check outlet on the HEAT EXCHANGER to
ensure there are no blockages for the
ventilation air.
The HEAT EXCHANGER should be cleaned
annually, using air or water, specifically if
there is black soot at the outlet. This
indicates that the combustion was incorrect.
Once the HEAT EXCHANGER is clean, See
Combustion Air Adjustments for the correct
settings before firing the heater.
START UP INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Be sure the switch in is the “OFF” position.
Ensure electrical cord is grounded and heater is on a level surface.
Plug in supply cord to 115V 15amp outlet.
Move switch to “MANUAL” position for manual control.
Move switch to “THERMOSTAT” position for thermostatic control.
Please Note:
1. If using Thermostat on unit, unit must be started in Thermostat position.
2. When changing between manual and thermostat operation, the heater must be
left in the “OFF”position for 30 seconds to prevent the burner from locking out.
3. When using a generator for electrical supply, make sure the generator is
properly grounded and generator is at a 60Hz frequency.
4. In the event that a Generator is being used and the generator runs out of fuel,
make sure the heater switch is in the “OFF” position before restarting the
generator, failure to do so may damage heater.
TO SHUT DOWN:
1. Move switch to “OFF” position.
NOTE:
Fan will continue to operate after the burner shuts down. Once the
unit cools down, the fan will stop.
IF HEATER FAILS TO START:
Press manual reset button at rear of burner.
1. Check fuel level. There must be 2-4 gallons of fuel in the tank for the heater
to start properly.
2. Make sure there are no air locks in fuel lines or filter.
3. Ensure proper power supply and extension cord is being used.
4. Check for dirty fuel filter or blocked fuel supply line.
5. Check burner nozzle assembly.
NOTE: IF THE BURNER HAS BEEN RESET SEVERAL TIMES THERE MAY
BE AN ACCUMULATION OF OIL IN THE CHAMBER! DO NOT CONTINUE
TO TRY AND START THE HEATER!
DRAIN OIL FROM HEAT EXCHANGER USING DRAIN HOLE AT FRONT OF
HEAT EXCHANGER FOR 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
RELIGHT. LET REMAINING EXCESS OIL BURN OFF BEFORE CHECKING
COMBUSTION OF UNIT.
SAFE OPERATION PRECAUTIONS:
1. Do not fill fuel tank while heater is operation.
2. Do not attempt to start heater if excess oil remains in the heat exchanger.
3. Use switch to shut down the heater. Do not try to shut down the heater by
unplugging the electrical cord.
4. Do not plug anything other than the thermostat into the “Thermostat” plug.
5. Do not use any fuel other that those listed on rating plate.
6. Follow electrical requirements shown on rating plate and/or Electrical
requirements section of this manual.
7. Before removing any guards or performing any maintenance, be sure that the
main power supply is disconnected.
COMBUSTION AIR ADJUSTMENTS:
Proper combustion air adjustment must be achieved using a certified combustion
analyzer and smoke tester to ensure complete combustion. The air adjustment should
be made to achieve 10% CO2 and No. 1 or “trace” smoke.
A)
Regulation of the combustion air flow is made by
adjustment of the manual AIR ADJUSTMENT PLATE
(1) after loosening the FIXING SCREWS (2 & 3). The
initial setting of the air adjustment plate should be
4.5.
B) The proper number on the manual AIR ADJUSTMENT
PLATE (1) should line up with the SETTING
INDICATOR (4) on the fan housing cover. Once set,
the air adjustment plate should be secured in place
by tightening SCREWS 2 and 3.
C) The final position of the air adjustment plate will vary
on each installation. Use instruments to establish the
proper settings for maximum CO2 and a smoke
reading of zero.
NOTE:
Variations in flue gas, smoke, CO2 and
temperature readings may be experienced when the
burner cover is put in place. Therefore, the burner
cover must be in place when making the final
combustion instrument readings, to ensure proper
test results.
COMBUSTION ANALYIZER TESTING:
SERVICE TIP:
When using the combustion analyzer, be sure to
place the probe 18” above the flue to obtain the
best reading.
SERVICE TIP:
Ideal combustion readings:
COppm – 0 to 20 ppm
O2% - 5 to 7%
CO2% - 9 to11%
Excess Air – 35 to 45%
Efficiency – 72-77%
Stack Temp – 770 to 820 deg
If ideal combustion reading for COppm cannot be achieved by adjusting the AIR
GATE and the excess air reading is high, it is possible that the BURNER TUBE
GASKET is not sealed properly. This allows excess air to the HEAT EXCHANGER.
Adjust burner gasket to ensure proper seal between the BURNER TUBE and HEAT
EXCHANGER inlet.
If COppm reading is high and excess air reading is
normal it is possible that the TURBULATOR DISC is
dirty.
Clean the TURBULATOR DISC.
FEELER GAUGE:
The temperature feeler gauge is required to be always touching the heater
exchanger.
The temperature feeler gauge controls the air flow over the fan switch, which
eliminates any unnecessary fan cycling.
In extreme cold conditions, cover the holes on the temperature feeler gauge using
foil tape or replace with a solid state feeler gauge, part number FV-433B.
Failure to do so may result in burning out fan switches- not covered under
warranty.
REMOVAL OF DRAWER ASSEMBLY:
A)
B)
C)
To remove drawer assembly, loosen SCREW (3), then unplug CONTROL
BOX (1) by carefully pulling it back and then up.
Remove the AIR TUBE COVER PLATE (5) by loosening the two retaining
SCREWS (4).
Loosen SCREW (2), and then slide the complete drawer assembly out of
the combustion head as shown.
NOZZLE PLACEMENT:
A) Remove the NOZZLE ADAPTER (2) from the DRAWER ASSEMBLY by loosening
the SCREW (1).
B) Insert the proper NOZZLE into the NOZZLE ADAPTER and tighten securely
(Do not over tighten).
C) Replace adapter, with nozzle installed, into drawer assembly and secure with
screw (1).
ELECTRODE SETTING:
The most forgiving setting for the
electrode placement is where the screw
remains centered in the obround hole of
the ceramic holder
TURBULATOR SETTING:
A)
B)
Loosen NUT (1), then turn SCREW (2) until the
INDEX MARKER (3) is aligned with the correct index
number as per the Burner Set-up chart, on page 12.
Retighten the RETAINING NUT (1)
NOTE: Zero and five are scale indicators only. From left to
right, the first line is 5 and the last line 0.
Factory setting is 5
There is rarely a need to
change this factory setting
HEAT EXCHANGER INSPECTION / TURBULATOR DISC:
TURBULATOR DISC on the
DRAWER ASSEMBLY should
be inspected and cleaned if
necessary. If there is soot on
the TURBULATOR DISC, it is
a good sign of improper
combustion.
To remove the TURBULATOR
DISC for cleaning, loosen the
screws at the rear of the
assembly as shown.
When the DRAWER ASSEMLBY is
removed, it is an ideal time to inspect
the interior of the HEAT EXCHANGER for
carbon / soot build up due to improper
combustion. Clean using compressed
air or water if necessary.
RE-INSTALLATION OF DRAWER ASSEMBLY:
BE SURE:
• Nozzle is tight.
• Turbulator disc is clean and secure.
• Electrode setting is correct and the ceramic
body is not cracked.
1. Re-insert drawer assembly in the burner tube.
2. Tighten the fuel line top pump motor.
3. Tighten the screw indicated to secure the drawer
assembly.
4. Re-attach the air tube cover.
IGNITION MODULE / PHOTO CELL:
The PHOTO CELL is attached to the underside of the
IGNITION MODULE. Ensure that the eye of the PHOTO
CELL is clean and secure.
Inspect the IGNTION MODULE for burn marks at the
front of the module and for cracks in the housing. Both
of these defects can be caused by excessive heat.
Inspect the CONTROL SUB BASE to ensure all wiring and
terminals are in the correct position. Refer to
troubleshooting illustration in the OPERATIONS MANUAL.
Note: Bent terminals will cause ignition failure.
When re-installing the IGNITION MODULE be sure to slightly
tip the module forward. Lining up the ignitor probes with the
plastic inlets of the module. The PHOTO CELL must also be
lined up with the hole in the air tube cover.
Level the module on the sub base and push gently until it is
secure. Tighten the side screw to complete the installation.
OIL LINE CONNECTIONS:
(6) Indicates the fuel pump supply line.
(9) Indicates the fuel pump return line.
(4) Indicates the PUMP BYPASS PLUG. This plug is installed at the factory. Note, when
replacing a FUEL PUMP, this bypass plug must be installed in the return side of the
pump before the fuel return line attached. Failure to install this bypass will prevent the
burner firing. Also note, there is a white plastic DRIVE KEY (FVO-3000443) on the shaft
of the pump motor. Be sure this key is secure before installing the new PUMP MOTOR.
PUMP PRESSURE SETTING:
Pump pressure is factory set at 170psig.
A pressure gauge should be attached as shown to the PRESSURE PORT (8) (previous
page) to confirm the pump pressure is correct. Note the adaptor for this port is British
Parallel Thread design.
Direct connection of NPT
threads to the pump will
damage the pump body.
Riello manometers and
vacuum gauges do not require
any adaptors, and can be
safely connected to the pump
ports. An NPT (metric) adapter
must be used when
connecting other gauge
models.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: BURNER WILL NOT GO INTO PRE-PURGE
Confirm power supply – is power indicator light green?
See POWER INDICATOR LIGHT instructions to help determine power issues.
Confirm power to both rear and outlet HIGH LIMIT switches using a volt meter.
Ensure all spade connectors are secure and crimped properly.
Replace limit switch if necessary – if power is not found on both sides of the switch.
Check connections on control sub base.
Make sure none of the tabs on the sub base are bent and losing connection with the
IGNITION MODULE.
PROBLEM: FAN MOTOR DOES NOT ENGAGE
Confirm power on both sides of FAN LIMIT.
Replace FAN LIMIT if necessary.
Confirm power on both sides of RELAY.
Replace RELAY if necessary.
Check connections on motor overload.
If motor overload connections are corroded
it will prevent the motor from operating
properly.
Check both the START and RUN
CAPACITORS.
Use volt meter to confirm OHM reading from
CAPACITOR terminals to ground. If OHM
reading is close to zero, the CAPACITOR
should be replaced.
Note: Heater must be plugged in to power to
perform this check.
PROBLEM: BURNER STAYS IN PRE-PURGE – DOES NOT LIGHT
Inspect PHOTO CELL.
Ensure the eye of the PHOTO CELL is clean.
Ensure the PHOTO CELL is secure on IGNITION
MODULE.
Note: Always replace the AIR COVER on the burner
assembly before starting the burner.
If this cover is not installed, natural light can trick
the PHOTO CELL into thinking there is flame.
SERVICE TIP:
Remove PHOTO CELL and re-install the IGNITION
BOARD.
Try for ignition, if burner now fires and locks out,
then PHOTO CELL should be replaced.
PROBLEM: BURNER IGNITES AND LOCKS OUT IMIMEDIATELY:
Check COMBUSTION AIR SETTING.
Be sure the AIR GATE is set to the correct setting.
Typically this setting is 4.5. See COMBUSTION AIR
ADJUSTMENTS page.
Check fuel supply.
Make sure the clear fuel lines are not blocked and there are no
signs of air in the lines. Make sure all connections are tight.
Inspect the FUEL FILTER.
This FUEL FILTER should be changed weekly.
Be sure there is no debris or ice inside the FILTER.
Change NOZZLE.
It is possible the NOZZLE is not allowing fuel to pass properly.
Replace if necessary.
The NOZZLE should be replaced annually.
Confirm pump pressure during
PRE-PURGE.
If the pressure during pre-purge
is not between 50-100psig the
pump motor may need to be
replaced.
Check VACCUM pressure on PUMP.
Attach vacuum gauge to the vacuum port shown here.
While the burner is in pre-purge, the reading should be no more than 11” W.C.
If the reading is higher, there is most likely a blockage in the fuel lines.
PROBLEM: BURNER TRIES FOR IGNITION & LOCKS OUT:
Check FUEL LINES.
Make sure there are no air bubbles in the clear FUEL LINES.
SERVICE TIP:
If the pump motor has been replaced, make
sure the bypass plug has been properly
installed in the return side of the pump.
Check IGNITION MODULE.
Make sure the module is secure to SUB BASE and the
terminals are not bent.
Make sure the ignitor probes are installed properly
into the IGNITION MODULE.
Replace IGNITION MODULE if necessary.
Check IGNITOR ASSEMBLY.
Make sure the ceramic assembly is not cracked or damaged.
Make sure the gapping between the probes and face of the
NOZZLE are correct.
